Calculation Formula The International Bond Indices offered by Cbonds.ru are total return indices calculated according to the

following formula:

100)0( I ;

n – number of securities on the Index List;

P (i,t) – price of the i-th security at moment t (*);

ACI (i,t) - accrued coupon income on the i-th security at moment t (this figure equals 0 on the coupon payment date

being simultaneously the beginning of a new coupon period);

G(i,t) – coupon payments made on the i-th security at moment t;

V(i) – par amount of the i-th issue on the Index List.

(*) - By the price of the i-th security at moment t we understand an average price of best bid and ask quotes displayed on Cbonds in the Market Quotes section. The Index is calculated in the beginning of a trading day (every trading day) using the data from the previous trading day at its closure. Apart In addition to the main index, we also calculate a auxiliary (“conjuncture”) index. It us a price-based index calculated the following way:

Concomitant figures

In addition to the indices, we calculate a number of gauges characterizing weighted average yield to maturity and weighted average duration of the index portfolio. We calculate “simple” weighted average yield (not including within-year coupon investments; it meets the standards of yield calculation on the Eurobond market). Weighted average duration is average duration weighted according to the share of each security in general capitalization. We use duration to maturity for every security if it is possible to calculate it correctly, otherwise duration to put option is used.

Weighted average yields are weighted yields either to maturity or to put option of securities included in the Index portfolio. If it is possible to calculate yield to maturity correctly, we use yield to maturity, otherwise we employ yield to put option. Yields are weighted according to the security’s share in the market capitalization and duration.
